Zenit 3M: 2nd roll
Posted by peanut on Saturday Jul 11, 2009 Under photographyIt is the 2nd roll of film because the 1st one is a black and white which I’m yet to find some special shop to process them. The color ones are easier.
These pictures were scanned. I hope the quality is still okay.
Zenit 3M, f2.8 - 37mm lens, Fujifilm color 100.
I did a very stupid mistake. I didn’t close the lens cap when I was turning back the film! So I guess I exposed some 6 pictures that I took in Malaysia. Luckily those Russian pictures are still there. It means that I have only 24 pics. The first pic is underexposed because I took it indoor with very bad light.
The board in front of my ex-apartment in Russia. Kinda can see the ‘old picture’ feel huh.
My friend Natasha who came to send me off that day. Snapping indoor is tricky. The light is not enough even thou it was relatively bright that day.
Another indoor shot of our bottles collection. I think I took this picture in the ‘B’ mode, meaning I press to release the shutter but it doesn’t close of until I release my finger. I think I took around 1 second for this. Imagine if the dial was on 125 per second. Then this picture will be a goner. The black area up there is a film defect.
Outdoor pics are easier. This was taken in front of the university. But with the bright sky and everything, the old photo feel isn’t really there.
This was taken at the train station in Volgograd where I bumped into Andrei who was sending his friend away. I gotta say that the lens bokeh is actually not very clear. I guess the pic is overexposed, thus making the bright light kinda eat away the ‘colored’ people at the side.
Hopefully the next roll will be more successful! I’m not going to touch this Zenit until I do more read ups. Haha. Long forward to snap with Izad on the Lubitel instead.
Today when I was driving on the street of Kluang, I saw some Malay guys using box cameras snapping at Kluang’s old building. So excited!
My dslr went out of batt today while I was shooting the STK’s talent time. Pictures will be up once the battery got recharged. Guess I need to buy a card reader.
